The doctor who discovered Corona rests in peace

He was the first to talk about the spread of a serious disease in Wuhan, China, the birthplace of the new Corona virus months ago, warning his colleagues of the danger of the matter, but the authorities in China did not pay attention to his words, but rather reprimanded him, arrested him, and opened an investigation with him on charges of “spreading false information.”

It is the late Chinese doctor Li Wenliang who sensed the danger of Corona before it spread and became a global epidemic, and he died after contracting the virus when he was treating one of his patients from it last February.

After the Human Resources and Social Security Authority in Wuhan decided to grant the family of the “Corona discoverer” a financial compensation of 820 Chinese yuan (equivalent to 117 US dollars), the Chinese authorities, on Friday, offered an official apology to the family of the late doctor.

The CPC Disciplinary Board also made it clear that a formal apology was offered to Li's family, the statement of reprimand and arrest against him was withdrawn, and disciplinary sanctions were issued to two police officers who were supervising the investigation process.
